How did the myth of Jesus' resurrection originate?

[T.J.]

I read this whole post in Captain Picard's voice, thank you for your choice of avatar.

As for the topic, I wouldn't hazard a guess where the myth first started. I heard it said once that Christianity was a bastardization of all the other religions so it may have come from multiple myths are lumped together.

I'm familiar with the email you're talking about too. The one about brain and hot and cold? Saw plenty of people have fun ripping the arguments made in that one to pieces.
